Home of the Free, Because of the Brave!

Another CAS card from me!  Must be some kind of record!  LOL!!!

This one features the new ODBD set Home of the Free!  The eagle is colored with copics and cut out.  I added stickles for a little sparkle.  And I added the little border from the ODBD/Spellbinders Cathedral Window and Border Dies!  

Here are the ODBD supplies I used:

 

 

Thanks for coming by again!  Enjoy your day!

Greater Love

 

Hello again!  My second card of the day!  WooHoo!  

Here is one I made with the new Home of the Free set from Our Daily Bread designs!  First I stamped the Gingham Background in a muted red and then stamped the stars in blue.  Then I embossed it for a quilted look.  I stamped the sentiment and cut it out with the ODBD/Spellbinders Elegant Oval and I stamped a few more stars to cut out and add to the panel.  I also stamped and cut out a few little USA banners.  And then I added a pretty bow I made with Becca's Peg Bow maker!

Here are the ODBD supplies I used:

Thanks again for stopping by!  God bless you!

Here is my first project:

I am in love with these sweet little praying children!  I used the Precious Girl set for my first card.  I also wanted to make my card a little vintage and a little shabby chic!  I use several coordinating sheets of Prima designer paper.  I did lots of sponging and distressing and embossing.  If you will notice, I inked and masked the For you from one of the sentiments and stamped it along the right edge of the card base.

I cut out two diecuts using the ODBD/Spellbinders Antique Labels and Border dies and the ODBD/Spellbinders Recipe Card and Tags dies.  I layered these down on the card base and tucked a little distressed and sponged doily behind the label.  The Bless the Child sentiment is popped up on the tag.  I added seam binding and a Prima flower and leaf to the tag.  After I added the lace, I stamped the little girl, colored her with copic markers and then cut her out.  She is popped up with foam tape as well.  Then I added the row of rhinestones to complete the card!

And here is my second card:

I kept the vintage/shabby look going for this card, which features the new Home of the Free set!  The background was created with the Old Flag Background. I sponged ink on the flag using masks for the stripes.  Then I embossed it with the SU! folder and distressed the edges.  Next, I lightly coated it with white acrylic paint. 

 I cut out the Spellbinders hearts,sponged them and added to the card base.  I colored the eagle with copics and cut him out.  Then I stamped the stars and cut them out.  The banner is from Memory Box.  I masked each letter from the AMERICA sentiment to create the banner.  I added lace and beautiful gingham ribbon I recently found at my local thrift store.  I made the bow with Becca's Peg Bow Maker.

After putting the card together, I added stickles to the eagle and glossy accents to each star!

Here are all of the ODBD supplies I used for these projects:

Welcome to the Our Daily Bread designsBi-Weekly For The Love Of Hop!  

  

We are having a special anniversary week here at ODBD and have had a great week so far!  Today, several of the bread sticks have cards to share with you that feature the wonderful backgrounds that ODBD has to offer!  Today it is all about BACKGROUNDS!!!  If you arrived here from Grace's Blog   then you are in the right place!

I chose three backgrounds to use for this card!!!  Yes, three!!!  

Old Flag Background

Wood Background

He Shall Be Called Background

I stamped the Wood Background first in brown ink and then stamped the Old Flag Background in black ink.  I colored the flag in with copics and then used Tim Holtz Vintage Photo ink dragging it over the image to give it that distressed/aged look.  On the background behind the flag layer, I stamped the Wood Background in brown and then the He Shall Be Called Background in black.  I did the same inking technique on this layer but used less ink.  Then I tore some lace into pieces, and glued and smooshed it into place in the corner.  I stamped the sentiment from the God Bless America set, and cut it out with the Spellbinders Ribbon Banners die.  I glued down the USA charm and hemp twine to complete the card!  Here is a closer view:
